With the latest news of Ricky Garard and two Masters athletes failing drug tests, we decided to take a look at the history of all athletes who have been sanctioned as part of the CrossFit Games’ Drug Testing Policy. The list has grown over the past several years with 11 athletes failing drug tests this year.
Here is the list of all known (and disclosed) Drug Testing Policy violations over the years. If we missed someone, let us know in the comments.
